Simple Nails

 

Keeping with my Simplify theme for this year, I have thrown out all my nail polishes.  

Sometimes I used to enjoy painting my nails, but of late it has become nothing but a hassle and I have discovered I quite like the look of my nails with their Nude Look.




I can still go and visit a professional manicurist if I want something special, but for now I will stick to a very simple nail care routine.

After trimming with scissors, the nails are filed to shape.  The cuticles are gently pushed back and a little jojoba oil is rubbed into each.

Any oil can be used, but I prefer jojoba because it soaks in quickly and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling behind.

Massage some hand cream into the hands and the manicure is finished.  Couldn’t be easier!

And I am loving the extra space in the top drawer of my dressing table 😊

Margaret.

  2. Sometimes I put on clear nail polish in the hope that it will strengthen my nails which are forever in bad shape. I'd like to say it helps but it doesn't.

  3. I have never painted my nails. Maybe I should......after all there was a time when guys didn't wear earrings either.

  7. My nails are so weak, if I did nothing they would split and break, but like you I have ditched the colour and keep a natural look.

  8. "Nude" - LOL! Can I please cover you, this is too cute and funny!

    Oil, interesting! Here it´s winter and the nails break away all the time. This might help!
    I used stickers back then... when I was young...
    Thank you for the hint x

  9. I have been biting my nails for years since i was a child, no matter how many times I try to stop it just doesn't happen but I do paint my toenails sometimes, my favourite colour is turquoise.

  10. I never polish my nails...my nails are not attractive polished or otherwise. So I leave them unpolished because I do not want to draw attention to them.
